Trgovac fired when DOMinoes fell
Good summary on the firing here. https://www.jsonline.com/story...om-capers/993036001/
Torgavac and McCurley fired, others supposedly also on the way out the door.
Trgovac shown the door when his position group was easily the best unit on the defense. Typical McCarthy there. It makes sense as Trgovac was likely brought in by Capers and so he wasn't McCarthy's guy.
I sure hope Moss is out since the assistant linebacker coach got fired. Packer's own website states that McCurley, and I quote, "McCurley works in support of associate head coach/linebackers Winston Moss to oversee the direction and preparation of all linebackers for the Packers’ 3-4 defense with an emphasis on the inside linebackers." Don't know how the Packers could scapegoat him and Moss survives. Especially if McCurley was actually the inside linebacker coach because of the young linebackers (Martinez, Ryan, Fackrell, Biegel), Martinez looks like the best one.
Well at least this gives me the opportunity to piss and moan just a bit more about Fontenot. Firing him sure did fix the tight end position, didn't it!
Apparently the Lions have asked permission to interview Winston Moss for their head coaching position. I guess after such a crappy season the Packers deserve to have some luck come their way.

Got a bad feeling about this. Moss next DC ?? Did Moss and Trgo not get along ??
Please Detroit, take hkm away. But I think in reality it’s a Rooney rule interview.

I dont think so. They have Teryl Austin scheduled for an interview on Tuesday.

Still waiting....
I guess it is possible some of the assistant coaches are scouting at bowl games and may not be in town to have a meeting to get their pink slip. More changes could come tomorrow.

Per Demovsky, "Mike McCarthy will consider both external and internal candidates to replace fired defensive coordinator Dom Capers. Joe Whitt and Darren Perry would be at the top of the internal candidate list."
Internet searched for defensive coordinator candidates and various sites listed Rex Ryan, Gus Bradley, Mike Pettine, John Pagano, Mike Nolan, Adam Zimmer and Micheal Barrow. Zimmer (Vikings linebacker coach) and Barrow (Seahawks linebacker coach) have no NFL defensive coordinator experience. I've added the NFL defensive coordinator statistics for the other five to the post at the bottom of page 1.
Cranked the numbers for the last 8 Packer defensive coordinators starting with the Mike Holmgren era. As you can tell by the number of seasons, it's only counts their time as the Packers defensive coordinator.
Ray Rhodes - 2 seasons = 12.5 / 12 / 10.5 / 11.67
Fritz Shurmur - 5 seasons = 6.4 / 5.2 / 13.8 / 8.46
Emmitt Thomas - 1 season = 19 / 20 / 3 / 14
Ed Donatell - 4 seasons = 14 / 10.5 / 8 / 10.83
Bob Slowik - 1 season = 25 / 23 / 31 / 26.33
Jim Bates - 1 season = 7 / 19 / 26 / 17.33
Bob Sanders - 3 seasons = 14.33 / 17.67 / 11.33 / 14.44
Dom Capers - 9 seasons = 16.56 / 15 / 10.89 / 14.15
Capers had an OPS of 15? Dude could rake
I really just want GB to hire the guy Gravedigger will defend regardless of results

With stats to fit.
I am not doing anything if the @packers need me,@GaryEllerson can help me turn this thing around

Greene left to be with family but I think he went to the Jets relatively quick. Wonder if there was a riff between him and Dom or Mike?
obviously if it was the Dom he’d would be very high in my list. Some of defense best work was when he was on staff.
Those defenses also had Woodson and Collins, to go with a svelte and motivated Raji.
Got a lot of hope that Clark will be a better Raji but yep no one has come close to replacing Woodson and Collins.

You should read Charles Woodson's twitter timeline from today. He thinks Whitt would be a very good choice and has some strong arguments as to why.

His contract is up. He's a "free agent."

So do I. Right where he is, thanks.

If CHI was run by competent people, I would say "a bird in hand". They may take his cell phone away and lock him in his office.
They could give him a shot at HC, but they want someone who can develop Trubisky and see if he can become the next Goff.
I've also read Fangio has no interest in being a HC.
Whoa. Someone who knows what he's really good at and prefers to stay there? Why, that's un-American! Gotta go for the top-dog job and the top dollar!

Aranda is receiving a new four-year contract that will pay him $2.5 million annually, a source told ESPN. The entire $10 million deal is guaranteed.

Now reportedly interviewing for CHI HC. Guess he changed his mind. Good thing is, if turns out not to be a good HC candidate I would guess he leaves CHI.
I'll be very surprised if Bears hire him as HC.
Of course it is the Bears
Too much in the Fox mode. If Chicago doesn't do the stupid thing and hire him as HC, MM needs to make a call to Fangio right after.
McCarthy says the #Packers defense needs to be better than the offense moving forward. "That needs to happen." Will certainly be a tall task.

Lofty and probably unrealistic goal from MM.
